My laptop is finally back up and running! Not that I've had time to miss it as I've done a few sleep-ins at work and I've spent a lot of time feeling sleepy and unmotivated. I'm hoping with more sunshine coming that I'll stop feeling like such a zombie and pull my socks up.
Until then here's a new outfit post. I actually bought this top back in December when I was getting some bits for a Christmas dinner while in my local Sainsbury's. I spotted it half a mile away given how bright it is!
There's been hints of 70's stuff coming back in and this is very reminscent of a 70's wallpaper. Bright and tacky? Winner. Plus I loves me a peter pan collar. Don't ask me why. I just think they are really cute. The material is a lovely, stretchy, and cool jersey material.
I put this together with my trusty skater skirt from New Look. I know the skater skirt is a bit of a marmite item in the fatshion community. Mostly because it's the only cut that's been offered to fatties and it's right that you'd be bored of it.
For me it carries a little bit of a casual and wearable retro look, and as a size 26, contrary to popular belief is pretty welcome. Vintage and retro looks, beyond swing dresses, is actually pretty inacessible for fatties beyond a 22. A heads up but sometimes fat people want the swing trousers, the cute boleros and cardigans, the cute skirts, the pea coats. Not all of us live in swing dresses. Jussayin'
My lovely chap hooked me up with some new black creepers from Asos at Christmas, after my New Look ones finally gave up the ghost. Due to my fecklessness you can't actually see them in most of the photos because self timers...finding the right spot..blah blah. I'm no good at this photo lark, ok?
But yeah, I love me some creepers. They give any outfit a little rockabilly feel.
What's been brightening your day?
That top is awesome sauce and the creepers look great, as do you. I'm shit at standing in the right place for photos when I use the tripod. I need to tape an X on the floor at home to stop me looking like a lemon!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this outfit on you! I've been eyeing up that skirt too, it's such a versatile style I can't resist. And the orange with your hair, just love!
